While in college, Heath was a scholarship employee for the USC football team, which won the national championship in 1995 (actually, it was only the Carquest Bowl). After graduating, he began law school at the University of South Carolina School of Law, earning his Juris Doctor from USC in 1999. Heath sat for and passed the Bar Exam in the summer of 1999 and thereafter began a clerkship with Hon. James E. Brogdon,
